How do I?: How do you use multiple images for particles in a single emitter?

    Something like using a movieclip as the ImageClass and having the emitter randomly choose a frame to use as the particle?

    I have tried using SharedImages, creating an array and adding the individual graphics to it, but it was resulting in the following error and didn't appear to be behaving properly:

    ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.

    Cannot display source code at this location.

    I guess a simpler request would be for an example of a working emitter that randomly uses multiple images for particles.

    Thanks!

    If you're using the DisplayObjectRenderer, you need to use the ImageClasses initializer rather than the SharedImages initializer.
